You really only need someone to drive you home/be available to drive if you take a pain pill. My sister stayed with me 2 nights and left the morning of the third day.

my husband took a week off but went back to work after about three days. It was nice having him around to get stuff for me, but honestly, I could have done it myself. I had a very easy recovery. You may be fine with just having him around for the first two or three days (and you may end up not really needing him around at all)

I'm 6ft tall and have been since I was 13. Petite would never be in my vocabulary.

I don't think anyone would consider me overweight in any way

i am close to 3 yrs post RNY and have had my ups and downs have recently had to go gluten free but have lost like 248 lbs and have kept it off. my starting weight on September 13, 2018 was 402. i do what i am supposed do to and am proud of myself and i feel that i work hard at my program which as you all know is not easy. but the problem is that i live in senior housing, yea i am on a limited income so i have no where else to live & a lot of people there bash me because of my weight loss, how i eat etc. i could write a book on all the negative untrue stuff that people say and most of the time i just walk away but does anyone else experience this? i get out alot and that does help but people can be so cruel at times. thanks everyone

Talk to your medical team about what's best for you, but summarising the advice I and others were given: Don't be surprised if you can't meet your protein goals for a few more months. Right now, you'll be focused on staying hydrated and figuring out which foods your stomach is ready for.
